Hint

Answer

1. Invention inspired by the second railroad ever built in the U.S. = Roller Coaster = RC
2. The first nation to allow women to vote = New Zealand = NZ
3. Abbreviation for pedagogy = ED (as in education)
4. The only U.S. state to border only one other state = Maine = ME
5. Nickname for the largest city in Louisiana = Big Easy (New Orleans) = BE
6. Artificial element named after a clerk from a Swiss patent office = Einsteinium = ES

The letter pairs are RC-NZ-ED-ME-BE-ES, which can be rearranged to form MERCEDES BENZ.Hide
